Chapter 634 After Being Used to Eating Coarse Grains, a Bowl of Fine Bran Suddenly Appeared! A Pleasant Conversation

Chapter 634: I’m used to eating coarse grains, and suddenly here comes a bowl of fine chaff! Had a great time talking...

Normally, the position of chairman of China Film Group represents the top spot in the domestic film industry.

Logically speaking, this kind of position change would not be announced until he actually takes office, but the real fact is that everyone is already aware of it a few months in advance.

Judging from the various actions of the third master in the past few months, it is obvious that the handover of work is already underway.

And the reason why he took Chen Fei to meet the new successor was probably because he wanted to "worship the mountain".

Among domestic directors, Chen Fei is considered a very special one.

His own glory has long been famous all over the world, and he has won various awards. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the No. 1 among Chinese directors.

Even in Hollywood, which is regarded as a holy place by many, his achievements are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

European three gold medals, Oscar, No. 1 global box office...

In the face of these achievements, no one can ignore his existence.

The same is true for the incoming La Dong. As the future leader, if he wants high enough political achievements and achievements, he cannot avoid Chen Fei and Feiyue Film and Television.

This may be one of the reasons for today's meeting.

…

The car kept going, getting more and more remote, until it stopped outside a teahouse.

What surprised Chen Fei was that when the car was parked in the parking space, the door of the teahouse just opened, and the deputy director came over with a smile.

Just after he pushed the door and got out of the car, the other party happened to walk in front of him. It was as if the distance had been calculated in advance.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, long time no see. Congratulations on finishing your new movie."

Chen Fei stretched out his hand and shook it: "Don't wait for a long time."

"Hey, just call me Vice Director, but don't call me the wrong one, it's not good, haha."

Han Sanping also walked over at this time, looked to the left and right, and reminded: "Let's go in and chat. There are many people here, so it's not suitable."

With that said, he walked ahead.

Chen Fei was half a step behind the deputy director, chatting as he walked towards the teahouse.

Unlike the third master who had a slightly gangster feel, this deputy director wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle, like a frail scholar.

After entering the teahouse and going to the private room, everyone else stayed outside except the deputy director's secretary, who was left to make tea.

The scent of tea is refreshing.

What surprised Chen Fei was that Vice Director La, who looked quite elegant on the outside, was very straightforward and unambiguous in his explanation.

After personally pouring a cup of tea for Chen Fei and Han Sanping, he said bluntly: "The main purpose of inviting Mr. Chen over today is to show my attitude.

I don’t need to go into too much detail about the strength of Feiyue Film and Television in the industry. It is no exaggeration to say that you and your company are supporting half of the domestic films. This is undeniable.

Everyone is working hard for the future of domestic films. Our goals and hopes are the same. If we have the strength, of course we can work hard in one direction.

I can promise that the help that Director Han has given you in the past will not be reduced even a little bit in the future, and will even be given more and better..."

Smart people usually make the smartest choices.

This is the case for Chen Fei, and the same is true for China Film and Television.

In the face of interests and merits, no one will choose to refuse, and no one will make the wrong decision.

Of course, Warner Bros. Pictures is an exception. No one has suddenly slipped from the top of the eight major Hollywood movies.

Afterwards, the three of them had a general chat about the future development direction of domestic films.

Deputy Director La obviously has his own pursuits: "I personally prefer science fiction films. Although this type of film has high risks, it also has great benefits, and it can also demonstrate the strength of a big country..."

Chen Fei nodded with great approval: "The main development direction of Feiyue Film and Television in the future will be science fiction films, supplemented by main theme films, comedies, and realism themes..."

Upon hearing this, Vice President La's eyes suddenly lit up!

He smiled and poured another cup of tea for Chen Fei, and said with a hint of compliment: "So far, the movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television have never experienced any failure, and so far they have all made a lot of money.

From now on, as long as it is Mr. Chen's project, China Film will definitely rush to the front without hesitation. If you have any difficulties or need help, just ask. "

"Haha, okay, then I'm welcome."

…

There are also private dishes in the teahouse. After dinner, it was already getting dark when we left.

Chen Fei still got into Han Sanping's car and rushed to the courtyard.

"Before I leave, I will find a way to get the script of "One Hundred Regiments War" approved. You will cooperate with me to establish the project. We will start working on it when I officially retire!"

Han Sanping showed a relieved tone and attitude. The pressure on his shoulders was gradually lifted, and he could finally do what he wanted to do.

Chen Fei nodded: "No problem, I will ask Su Guohai to cooperate with you when the time comes."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something else: "By the way, Director Han, I have already finished the script for "Pacific Rim 2". Do you want to..."

"Forget it." Han Sanping shook his head: "I will leave in a little more than two months at most, and this kind of limelight will not come out. You suggest that you contact La Geikang, he will definitely like this project. "

Chen Fei smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Okay!"

The script of "Pacific Rim 2" actually appeared together with "Pacific Rim 1", but Chen Fei felt that the second part had great flaws, so he made a lot of adjustments and modifications.

The second part was too commercialized, lacking the bravery and tragedy of mankind in the doomsday crisis, and the plot was too dry.

The design at the end was too anticlimactic, and the appearance of the "Tathagata Palm" made Chen Fei look confused.

Helplessly, for the sake of future box office and reputation, he could only make drastic changes.

And this revision took more than two years. The current script finally satisfied Chen Fei, and I believe it will not disappoint the audience after it is released.

The reason why he told Han Sanping in advance was actually to say hello, after all, the first part was led by him.

Now he is going to retire. If he gives it to the new leader without saying a word, it will inevitably feel like the bird is dead and the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked.

With Han Sanping's words, Chen Fei was able to operate easily afterwards.

…

The next day, after sending the finished film of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to the editing and special effects department, Chen Fei finally got a few rare days of free time.

Although the pre-release promotion and roadshow activities of "The Burning Sun" were about to start, "right away" did not mean immediately, and he could just lie at home for a few days.

Surfing the Internet once again became one of his pastimes.

Several movies released at the end of July are still in theaters.

The box office results of "Equator" and "Fast and Furious 6" all showed a trend of rising all the way, while films such as "Tai Chi Man" and "Blind Detective" have been forced to be withdrawn from the shelves due to poor box office performance.

In addition, Chen Fei also saw a piece of news that surprised him.

Jia Zhangke's "A Touch of Sin", which won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, was banned!

You know, this movie has been reviewed and obtained the Dragon Mark early, and it had obtained the Dragon Mark before participating in the film festival.

But what about now? What the hell is it that Jia Zhangke banned it right away?

Chen Fei couldn't help but be curious and called Jia Zhangke directly.

After chatting for a few words, Jia Zhangke told the truth: "Realistic themes are nothing more than reflecting reality. Some people are afraid and cowardly, so they banned it."

Hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but remain silent.

Due to the national conditions, this is not Hollywood after all, and you can't shoot whatever you want.

They dare to rush to the White House and confront the president, but here you can't even have such an idea, let alone shoot it.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Alas, no one can help me, I can only work hard on my own. Let's see if deleting some of the plots that are marked with red lines can have a hope of successful release."

"Okay, call me if you have any difficulties."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei sighed subconsciously, and didn't know what to say, so he could only wish Jia Zhangke good luck.

…

The next day, during the break, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei dressed up and went to a nearby theater to watch Thor 2: The Dark World.

Due to the time difference, the first-day box office in North America was released first.

The result of 35.86 million US dollars was relatively mediocre, not good, but not bad either.

From the North American IMDB rating, it can be seen that after watching Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel, the fans' threshold of mind rose sharply, and they were a little disappointed with Thor 2.

Of course, this disappointment is only relative, and Marvel has already expected it.

According to the current situation, there are so many superheroes in the Marvel series, and few can surpass Iron Man!

However, compared with North American audiences, domestic audiences are much more "enthusiastic" about Thor 2.

After eating too much "coarse grains", a bowl of "fine bran" suddenly came, and the taste was simply amazing.

The first-day box office was 51.35 million, directly leading the box office chart in early August!

Interestingly, compared to the protagonist Thor, domestic audiences seem to have a special liking for the character "Loki".

"No matter how I look at it, I think Thor is so rustic, while Loki is still handsome~"

"I haven't seen the first movie, but I also knew about it before watching Thor 2. In addition, I have seen Avengers, so I am still very clear about the relationship between the characters in this movie. Although the plot is a bit bloody, it is a very good popcorn movie. The 3D effect is also good. Loki is too talkative, haha."

"My gay is so sweet that I am about to melt!!!"

Compared with Chen Fei's enthusiasm, the producers of several other films that will be released in theaters in August can no longer laugh.

The summer vacation has just entered a white-hot state, and a Hollywood movie has dominated the list, which undoubtedly puts them under great pressure!

The number of theaters is fixed. The better the box office performance of a movie, the worse the box office performance of other movies in the same period will be.

There are even many fools who went to the Film Bureau to ask for a reduction in the screening rate of imported films to ensure the attendance rate of domestic films.

As expected, no one paid any attention to this request.

It's already 2013, I really thought it was 2003. The policy has changed drastically since then.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will no longer be a domestic film protection month.

…

Multiple messages came from Hollywood.

The film "Dangal" directed by Rajkumar Shirama has been successfully completed and has entered the post-production stage and is expected to be released in the first half of 2014.

The fourth season of "Game of Thrones", which is controlled by Marvel Entertainment, has officially been completed and has been announced to the public that it will be officially launched in the middle of next year.

"Iron Man 3" has been released from theaters in many countries, and its current total box office revenue is US$1.365 billion.

In addition, there is also a major news here in China that has caused some waves in the film and television industry.

"The second part of the Ghost Blowing Lantern movie series, "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" has officially started filming!"

When the news was announced on the official website of Feiyue Film and Television, it immediately triggered a wave of heated discussions in the industry.

The first "Jingjue Ancient City" earned 1.5 billion yuan at the domestic box office, and also made 250 million US dollars abroad, which directly scared a lot of people's jaws!

Fortunately, now, after a year, the second part has officially started filming. It is obviously aiming to surpass the first part.

For a time, many people in the mainland film and television industry were in a daze and felt the pressure doubled!

I originally thought that there wouldn’t be any big news in Feiyue Film and Television this year, so that others could try to catch up.

But now it's better. "The Martian", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Worm Valley in Yunnan", these are all movies with big investment, and they all have successful cases...

For a time, the bosses of many film and television production companies arranged for people to watch "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" to death.

Once the film is finalized, you have to stay away quickly.

Untouchable!

It’s really untouchable!

Perhaps because he paid attention to the news on Feiyue Film and Television, Jiang Wen also happily joined in the fun and announced the official launch of "One Step Away".

Compared with the confidentiality work done in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley", "One Step Away" is not so meticulous.

On the day the movie was launched, a lot of news about the movie script appeared on the Internet.

"It is reported that the number of screenwriters of "One Step Away" is as high as 6, including Jiang Wen, Wang Shuo, Guo Junli, Sun Rui and a series of industry giants."

"The director's wife, Zhou Yun, personally went off stage to stage a love scene with Jiang Wen."

"The script of "One Step Away" is adapted from the real incident "Yan Ruisheng Case" that caused a sensation in Shanghai..."

As the popularity grew, some netizens gave the movie a nickname, calling it Jiang Wen's "second masterpiece in the Beiyang film series!"

Jiang Wen readily accepted this description and boasted in front of the media, saying that the performance and quality of the film would never be inferior to "Let the Bullets Fly."

For a time, everyone's expectations soared.

…

In addition to these big-budget movies that have been launched one after another, there is another piece of news in the industry that has attracted the attention of many people.

After Huayi announced its intention to acquire Xiaoma, nearly half a month later, Xiaoma finally responded.

Zhong Lifang did not come forward. Chairman Li Ming personally held a press conference and formally rejected Huayi's merger intention.

"In the past five years, Xiaoma has raised nearly 2 billion yuan. It is not to make wedding dresses for others. Our goal is always to be independently listed! Step by step to reach the top!

In the next six months, we will submit an IPO and launch an attack on A-shares. Fans and friends, please wait and see! "

2000000000?

Looking at this number, although Chen Fei didn't have any big disturbance in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

After raising so much money, they all have to pay it back. Can they succeed?

There wasn't much information about Galloping Pony in his memory. Apart from waiting and seeing, he could only be a bit doubtful and confused like everyone else.

Turning his head again, Chen Fei saw another new message.

After "Tiny Times 1" was officially abandoned, "Tiny Times 2: The Age of Aoki" directed by Guo Jingming held another vigorous premiere event in the capital.

The news reports are fresh.

"With the help of many fans, "Tiny Times 1" was a great success, with the box office officially exceeding 500 million. Director Guo Jingming is still full of confidence in the second part."

"The fans of "Tiny Times" chanted at the premiere of the second part, "Even if we are suppressed, we will never give up."

"In front of the media cameras, Guo Jingming called on the relevant departments to rectify the market atmosphere, and cried again with tears, saying that he had been excluded, suppressed, and bullied by the film industry, and hoped that the relevant departments could give him justice..."

With all kinds of news taking turns, the film industry has really been stirred up by him once again.

"Mr. Chen, do you think the box office of his second film can surpass that of the first?"

In the office, Su Guohai asked curiously.

Chen Fei asked: "What are the domestic movies released at the same time?"

""A Romantic Affair", "One Night Surprise", "Mader No. 2", "Palace Lock Agarwood", etc."

Listening to these movie names, Chen Fei slowly shook his head: "None of them can fight."

Su Guohai was slightly surprised: "So, "Tiny Times 2" is going to win?"

Chen Fei shrugged: "It's scary when that group of fans goes crazy. Ordinary domestic movies can't compete at all. If nothing else happens, except for "Thor 2", several other movies in August will have to be suppressed." "

At the same time, just as the two were discussing the expected box office performance of those movies in the second half of the year, a piece of news spread throughout the entertainment industry!

The movie "Coming Home" to be directed by Zhang Yimou has finally been cast.

The media reacted very quickly and reported the news about the new Mou girl as soon as possible.

"The new Mou girl is Zhang Huiwen, a student of Beijing Dance Academy. She has no acting experience before and will play the daughter of Chen Daoming and Gong Li..."

As soon as the news was announced, the third- and fourth-tier actresses in the circle were so envious.

The opportunity to rise to the top in one step was snatched away by a newcomer!

Chen Fei naturally paid attention to this news, and also saw this girl named Zhang Huiwen.

However, what made him feel strange was that the girl's eyes seemed to be a little out of focus. He didn't know if it was because of the photo, or if she looked like this?

"It should be because of the photo. This is the heroine selected by Zhang Yimou himself. How could there be a problem?"

Chen Fei muttered softly, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt uncomfortable.
